Pictoplasma
This week you shall not be surprised to see a lot of cute little monsters and quirky characters. No, it’s not the invasion of the new Pokémons, it’s the Pictoplasma Festival that brings a bunch of artists and illustrators to town that have specialized in character design. Of course this is by far not everything there is this week. See all the events after the jump.
Mind Gardens, Mutations and R/evolution
Finally there are enough events going on again in Berlin again to able to put together the weekly eventguide. The last few weeks were so empty due to the holidays. This week we are starting strong with another edition of the great new Cinéma party before it get’s very arty toward the end of the weeks with many cool exhibitions and art parties. After the jump you’ll find all the events.

“And now I would like you to bend over so I can shove a dead eel into your anus and three into your vagina,” said the artist to the young woman and smiled. She looked at him in terror. “What?!” This is not quite what she imagined when she read erotic posing in the ad.
This is somewhat how I imagine the scenario when Japanese photographer Daikichi Amano briefs his model for one of his photoshoots for the first time. Of course in reality this was probably pretty different, but you never know with these crazy Japanese. Anyway, if you are curious about his provoking arrangements of naked bodies and seafood you should drop by Bongout Gallery at Torstrasse these days.
If you want to see the result of the first mentioned scenario you should look after the jump. If you are easily upset by explicit sexual images you might prefer not to though…
Blexbolex
Just recently we interviewed Berlin-based artist and illustration Atak for our series The Makers. Now he opens a brand new exhibition together with french artist Blexbolex at Bongout Gallery in Mitte this Thursday. Come by for dreamy retro art! More after the jump.
